It's a pretty stacked international field as well. Only the Russians and Dutch among the top 15-20 teams seem to be missing. |

Very interesting. Crabb/Gibb dropped this one. They would’ve automatically been in the MD as they’re the second ranked US team in entry points.

I can see CRABB TR./BOURNE doing well here, If I recall it's a jumper's beach.

Did anyone else notice?
Andy Mol dropped. It’s Henry Mol and Christian Sørum at Seed #13.
That’s why Dalcena is the #1 seed and should retain that since Qatar is #9 seed and would bump up for #8 seed when they do the reseeding.
CORRECTION: When they reseed prior to the start of MD, Dalcena would’ve dropped the 1st place finish points from Fort Lauderdale 2018. Can someone confirm that’s the case?
Good for Brazil... Alison/Andre got the WC so that’s already 4 Brazilian teams in the MD. Two more Brazilian teams in CQ and Ricardo is one of them.
Meanwhile, not so good for USA... after Gibb/Crabb dropped, only 2 USA teams in the MD. 4 USA teams are playing in CQ just to get into Qualfiers.

Adding that Hyden is also in CQ. So he and Ricardo are on the same boat.

I thought only one team would come out of CQ always. So that means that they’ll just play one match in CQ. |

The thought of Alison/Andre getting the WC and not in CQ is a good laugh. They were on the brink of having to play through CQ to get into Q to get into the MD. Mind blowing in a sense. Got to feel bad for Ricardo and Hyden.
